that makes the two of us - really.
If I were you, I would

    * Ensure that ntp-client script starts after the networking has been
      set up
    *  modify the ntp-client script to ensure that it tests whether a
      DNS is available or not, at first. If it can't find a DNS, it
      should probably wait till it can.

Unfortunately, I am not saying anything you dont already know
